PIXAR to be taken over by Disney
Ew! This really makes me angry. If it does happen Disney will simply get change PIXAR into a department that spits out the same crappy animated sequels Disney has done over the past few years without them.

I think Jobs will be less concerned with content creation and more concerned with the massive library of content Disney already owns. As the single largest shareholder in Disney he can try to leverage his position with Disney into a big win with Apple. Think of Disney's library under the wing of iTunes...

However I do agree he's seeing lots of potential dollar signs with the idea of offering Disney's huge library via iTunes. |

I thought PIXAR was George Lucas' baby?
I am pretty concerned about this. I fear that PIXAR is too unique, and do things so differently from typical formulaic Hollywood to likely be able to stay the same after being owned by someone else.

I too was annoyed by this however being a Jobs/Apple fan I'm happy to see him gain an upper hand in any way.
I don't think you'll see Pixar disbanded in any way (unless their memebers choose to leave) because that would have the exact opposite effect of what Disney was going for. There's no reason to buy a superior animation company only to disband it. In recent years Disney only made money off of Pixar's films. The Disney/Pixar contract was going to expire, and Disney didn't want to see that well dry up. If they are smart they'll just let the Pixar team continue to do whay they've always done and and Disney can continue to count the box office returns. |

Also they really need to make sure they keep Lassiter happy. He's the genious behind PIXAR's magic and he already worked for Disney once. Hopefully he didn't leave with a bad taste in his mouth. |

This doesn't surprise me. I knew that Disney was gonna have to do everything in it's power to maintain its relationship with PIXAR. Disney's in-house projects have paled in comparison to the work put out by PIXAR.
Now lets just hope that PIXAR keeps churning out great work.

With Jobs in the position of power that he is and Lassiter being over ALL Disney animation, I think PIXAR's quality will remain the same and we'll also see BETTER 2D movies coming from the house of mouse once again. |

This could be the best thing that's happened for Disney in decades. Considering their downward turn in the last 10 years. As an apple devotee, and for 3 years an apple employee I can say he runs a horribly tight ship, but it works.
If anyone can turn the house of mouse around into a good company again it's Jobs. At least they have a rudder now. I completely agree about the fact that if the story is good it doesn't matter if it's 2D or 3D. Look at Miyazaki's stuff. Look at Pixar's stuff (minus Cars, that looks like pure ass), if the story is good who cares what the medium is or is not. Here's something horribly ironic, my two best friends in college had one lifelong goal, to become traditional animators for disney. I took about 2.5 years of 2D animation in conjunction with 3D animation, but anyways they worked night and day and right out of college they got picked up by Disney recruitters. Two months after picking up and moving to Disney, Disney closed their doors. How's that for crushing your dreams in one quick swoop?!
